So I've allegedly got a new cellphone on the way.

I say "allegedly" because T-Mobile has proven itself less than reliable when they say they sending me something.

Yes, you read that right.  T-Mobile.  Think they suck?  Well, the sorta do, but I've had worse (trust me on this) and if you show me some other company that will give me 3000 monthly minutes for fifty bucks, and I'll switch.

Actually, I've been happy with my SERVICE.  I have coverage most of the time, but that neato gadget phone that I bought six months ago?  Yeah.  That sucked.  It didn't gracefully move from tower to tower (which is pretty much the BASIS of celluar communication) and it's just never really been right.

Even though I found lots of postings on the Internet about this exact problem, both Sony Ericsson and T-Mobile refused to admit that it existed.  I exchanged the phone twice, and the SIM card once.  Both parties, however, would be happy to sell me a brand new phone.  I can't begin to tell you how much that pissed me off.

When I'm pissed, I send emails and make phone calls.  CEO in Japan?  Uh huh.  Federal Communications Commission?  Uh huh.  The rental office of the malls that have company-owned stores?  Yep.

So I'm getting a brand-new Motorola T720i.  They supposedly sent it to me on Friday (overnight), but I don't have it yet, and can't get a tracking number out of T-Mobile.  This REALLY pisses me off.  They will rue the day they ever crossed me, I promise you that!

Anyway, while I'm waiting, I've been looking around the Internet at all the features that the phone has to offer.  Besides most of the features I have on my existing phone, it also boasts something called polyphonic ringtones.

Apparently my new phone, instead of making horrible shrill tones that you can actually hear, it will play MIDI files.  Yep, those in my immediate vicinity will be fooled into thinking that I have stuffed a Casio keyboard in my pants. 

I'm wonding what ringtone/song I'm going to download.  I'm torn between We're Off To See The Wizard or something by Abba.  I'm so very very gay, y'all.

Anyway, I'll let you guys know when I get it.  Trust me, everyone's gonna be tired of hearing about it, especilly if this phone sucks, too.

Waterloo! badabadadada Waterloo!

That's my pick. And I realize now I need a new phone, yours is too cool. If you ever get it. ;)

Mine plays Erasure's "Chains of Love" ! I can't find Abba for my little dinosaur of a Nokia. She's little and blue and on the verge of extinction. Alas.

I have the T720i and know several people who have one. We're all happy with it. It comes with a bunch of preprogrammed tunes. You can download games, too!

I'm thinking that "Dancing Queen" would be the single greatest ringtone available. It would be fabulous! Whimsical, easily identifiable, and incredibly campy. It's the perfect song. I have to admit that my cell phone is only a fraction as cool -- it plays "Across the Universe."

My plan is for 3000 ANYTIME mins, and I haven't been able to beat that...

haha, i got the same phone, i didn't have any luck with getting midi files for my phone...if u ever find a site with it, hit me bak kz?

Hey Tim -
I can't say as I sympathize with your cell phone troubles, as I personally don't see any reason to have one (myself). However, I love the way you tell a story....write it like you think it......that's my motto. Good luck. TMobile sounds too much like the Verizon service my bother has back home. Not worth the effort and it's not good for your blood pressue either :o)
Oh - and as for a song for your phone? How 'bout "Gimme Gimme Gimme"? LOL
